Base is a secure, low-cost, and developer-friendly Ethereum Layer 2 built to onboard the next billion users to Web3. Incubated by Coinbase with a roadmap toward progressive decentralization, Base aims to support an open and accessible global crypto economy.
Secured by Ethereum, Base delivers strong security and scalability for decentralized applications, enabling seamless asset onboarding from L1 and interoperability with other L2s. It offers a cost-efficient EVM environment with early access to new Ethereum features.
Developed on open-source technology in collaboration with Optimism, Base is designed as a public good. It also integrates closely with Coinbase products, giving builders easy fiat onramps, smooth app distribution, and access to Coinbase’s large user base and asset ecosystem.
